Although many questions about narcolepsy have been answered through extensive research and trials, mysteries of the condition still remain. Just like many other disorders and diseases, narcolepsy has symptoms, biological causes, and treatment. But what makes it different? A great way to answer this question is to hear the real life story of a narcoleptic, Anthony Raymond, who experiences daily episodes of sleep. Not only does he mention how he deals with his symptoms, but he also takes into account the emotional distress he faces as a result of narcolepsy. Also, towards the end of the video, Dr. Emmanuel Mignot, the director Stanford's Center for Narcolepsy, explains the causes for narcolepsy and its symptoms. He provides images that can further assist you in understanding what occurs in the brain of a narcoleptic.
